Depends on the election outcome. If Dems take the Senate, Van Horrible won't have any problem moving any bill his twisted heart desires.

especially if they nuke the filibuster
Okay, this has me kind of confused. What I get from listening to what he read from the BATF memo was that if an FFL transferred the store's remaining inventory to his personal collection, then after getting rid of the license, he would be bound by the same regulations that determine if someone is in the business of selling guns. Seems clear to me.
I am assuming that the one regulation that the memo refers to explains under what criteria someone is determined to be in the "business" of selling firearms. I am guessing it is something like if they sell so many in a certain amount of time or something like that. That makes sense. It seems to me that the memo just states that the former FFL holder will be treated just like anyone else in that respect.
Can someone please explain to me if I am misunderstanding this? Because I am just not seeing what the issue is.

In that case yes; o/w it depends on how many votes they got and if they can prevent defectors. Not sure a 51 to 49 senate will do it.
This is what happens when you play defense too long, you lose. This Van Helsing guy should be trying to hold the water from the damn back. We need to support politicians that are willing to repeal certain laws, like the GCA of 68 or NFA of 34 and abolish the BATFE.
You could kill a being with a toothpick , does that make it a weapon? This clown needs to go away.
Unfortunately, pretty good if polls are to be believed. If things go the way the Dems and pollsters think they will, the 2A's days are numbered. If we're lucky you might get to keep your bolt guns (without scopes of course, because that makes them sniper guns).

Right there with you.
I mean, in seriousness, Van Hollen has only been a senator while in the minority. Minority rarely gets to do much and with Mitch running the GOP in the senate, not sure he has allowed any democrat bills to come up for vote.
That's probably a good thing. Hope it stays that way.
The fact that NOTHING is allowed to be brought up that isn't Mitch's pet thing isn't really a good thing.
Means necessary, but small things can only get done when included as pork in some unrelated bill being added as a rider/amendment to try to get support.
Do I disagree or think its bad for our country 95% of the crap Democrats try to pass? Yeah.
But I'd say just about the same with Republicans too. Be nice if they could actually try talking to each other and pass common ground and compromise legislation. Been a long dang time since they've done any of that in any meaningful way. We used to get much better legislation when it happened and a lot more deliberation and thought went in to most of it.
Senate was designed to slow the process down, have more deliberation in legislation and make sure it was something really the majority of the majority agreed on. Not something controlled by one (Mitch) where no legislation can get done unless one party controlled congress and the white house AND that the majority of that party even agreed on the legislation (Mitch's bar for allowing legislation to come up for vote).
He needs to go as much as Pelosi and the others do.
